Having access to one of the fastest versions of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in the world, the US overclocker K | ngp | n this week installed an engineering sample of the Core i9-7960X processor with sixteen cores on the EVGA X299 Dark motherboard, which was cooled with liquid nitrogen. In the illustration to the experiment, we can also see a device for removing the cover from the processor, but nothing is said in the description of the replacement of the standard thermal interface. While we will assume
that the processor has not been modified, and the achieved frequency of 5.5 GHz is not the limit.

Along the frequency of 2581/12856 MHz, the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti video card was called "Vince Lucido", it was also cooled by liquid nitrogen. All this allowed to score in the 3DMark Fire Strike 35 755 points, updating the record for single video cards. In the 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme test, the score was 19,616 points, and the video card frequencies were increased to 2607/13008 MHz.
